I think I'm gay how do I know?
I saw a movie and I kinda liked the man in it.
Am I a gay?
How do I start?
Should I just look for another gay and ask him to see if I am.
My dad is a preacher so it's a problem

The thing that you have least control of in your body is your autonomic reactions. Sexual arousal is one of those autonomic reactions. If you are aroused by same-sex porn, then at the very lowest level you are gay/lesbian/bisexual. If you can't emotionally respond to same sex people when you are attracted to them sexually, that is probably your fears or your denial... but without a doubt you are gay/lesbian.
Do you fantasize or dream about gay/lesbian sex? Do you get more excited from watching gay/lesbian porn than you do watching straight porn? Do you catch yourself looking at the same sex person more when you watch straight porn. Do you feel attracted to guys sexually? Do you feel attracted to girls sexually? Do you get aroused when thinking about or actually kissing / caressing a man? Do you get aroused when thinking about or actually kissing / caressing a woman? Both? One more than the other?
Your involuntary feelings about or your physical reaction to gay and straight sex is just one measure of your orientation. You could be bisexual (feeling sexual attraction in some degree to both genders), or you could be straight and curious or you could be gay... all depending upon how you answer these questions.
Your involuntary unconscious reaction of excitement / attraction / arousal is your best measure of orientation, versus your conscious reaction when looking at guys/girls. Your conscious reaction to sex or an emotional attachment could be affected by your unconscious fears.
Only you can define what you are... don't let other people tell you.
You are probably better off keeping your feelings to yourself until you are no longer dependent upon your parents, if they have a problem with gay people.

When you say you likes a man in a movie, did you like him or his personality? It is very normal to like a male actor (as a man) for the role he plays. and that has nothing to do with you being gay. Girls like actresses for the way they dress, walk, and most of all, the flirt that ends in "catching" the guy. Men go for the role as being the "model" of manhood, so it is easy to "like" a guy actor. Please do not let such a small thing worry you into thinking you are gay. Usually gay people know they are gay way over before watching a movie. Your Dad is a preacher, and am sure he also likes a male actor and that doesn´t make him gay. You can ask him.

Umm just thinking a guy is attractive doesn't make you gay, but if you want to experiment, look for some guys at Starbucks , and if your dad is a preacher....you may just want to wait until you move out

just because u saw a movie and enjoyed the view does not mean you are gay. I personally find woman attractive but i am fully straight. Perhaps if there were other signals telling you are gay then yeah but definitely just basing it on the movie, i dont think u shud be too worried

I'm 54 gay male and my father is a preacher also and don't approve the gay lifestyle . That's why I'm discret. To answer your question might not be nothing. Hormones seem to be playing tricks on your mind. As you get older you will an alert don't worry about it. Take care let know how you're doing.

There's an important detail missing here. How old are you?
If you're a teenager, I wouldn't worry too much about it. The changes in your hormones that happen during puberty can make you feel confused about sex and who you are attracted to. Most teenage boys go through that. For most, it passes. For others, it doesn't. The important thing is not to label yourself.
But if you're older, and you find that you are attracted to men (not just one man), you probably should do a bit more thinking about how you feel and what you want.

Just because you liked a man in a movie does not mean you are gay, you could be. Be your normal self till you run into someone and see what happens from their, you can not change your destiny

when you willingly want to be gay you came to the right place! everyone in this section will tell you that you're gay because we want everyone including you to be gay! welcome to homosexuality! its such a fun and creative and unique lifestyle you get more benefits than heterosexuals you get to have sex homo sex in public and you get to gratify yourself by turning heterosexuals gay.
but again welcome to homosexuality! this is how you start: you have to have sex with two guys a day. one HAS to be straight and ONE has to be gay the straight one might be a little difficult you have to get him alone and try to sexually seduce him whether he's willing to engage in sex or not you have to finish the "deed" so he can e gay too
then its easy to have sex with another gay guy
to help you out ill thumb down all the people who are wrong

If you feel attracted to other men then you're gay. Or if you think "damn he's hot" then yep you're gay. Hope this helps
